Mexico to reduce oil exports to US in 2008

peakoil.com -> pennenergy.com :

Mexico will reduce its crude oil exports to the US by an average of 184,000 b/d throughout 2008. El Universal newspaper said a reduction in US-bound exports for 2008 - and possibly until 2010 - was due to Mexico's reduced oil output. El Universal said the US Energy Information Administration earlier this month predicted a 13.2% shortfall of imports from Mexico during the current fiscal year. According to EIA figures, Mexico exported 1.533 million b/d to the US in 2007. The decline in Mexican output is driven mainly by falling production at supergiant Cantarell field, according to EIA.

- Why don't they say "possibly forever" instead of "possibly until 2010" - I sure don't see another super-giant, second-largest-oilfield in the world Cantarell coming online in Mexico within the next 2 years. Do you?

Check out this chart from theoildrum.com, aptly titled "Mexico's Oil Production is Collapsing" :

Looks like we're closer to the worst-case scenario than the optimistic one.
